Was watching the news in my living on the second level of my home. It had just gotten dark and saw a really bright light encircled with orange exterior. It looked like a ball of fire and it had a long tail passing right outside my window. The sighting was about 25 feet from where I was sitting so very close to my house right above my garden. There was no noise. I rushed outside to see where it went and there was no trace.

Spicewood, TX

Though our address is in Spicewood, this sighting was seen closer to Briarcliff. From the neighborhood of West Cypress HIlls, off Highway 71, we saw 5 orange lights. After the first one, my partner came into the house and told me. I went back outside and saw the rest They appeared to be coming from the lake, north of our position. The orange lights did not flash at all. They seemed to follow the same path and they each disappeared at the same spot in the sky. We did not hear any sound coming from them. It was partly cloudy that night, but there were no clouds where the orange lights disappeared. The moon was full. The ones I saw seemed to appear one after another. They were round with a smaller round shape on top. We thought they were drones at first, but the lights were orange and didn't blink. Since they disappeared, we don't think they were drones. I don't see any record of anyone else seeing these lights, so I wanted to make sure this was recorded.

Two lights side by side very bright on the southwest night sky. We thought they were stars but the location appeared to be too low in the sky. After a couple of minutes the right light faded out. It re appeared in about a minute. They never moved or appeared to drift away. We live by 2 airports and know what aircraft look and sound like at night. These two balls of white light glowed bright and made no sound. It was difficult to judge the distance or size.
